2 Description

2.1 Use of the product as directed

The tool is intended to be used for locating reinforcing bars in concrete, measuring depth of concrete cover and estimating the diameter of the bars in the uppermost layer in accordance with the specifications detailed in the technical data provided in these operating instructions. The tool is designed for professional use and may be operated, serviced and maintained only by trained, authorized personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered. The tool and its ancillary equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed. Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance. Take the influences of the surrounding area into account. Do not use the tool or appliance where there is a risk of fire or explosion. Modification of the tool or tampering with its parts is not permissible.

2.2 PSA 55 infrared adapter

The PSA 55 infrared adapter is used to store scans before they are subsequently transferred to a computer. The adapter has a storage capacity of approx. 100 scans.

2.3 Applications

The tool can be used for various non-destructive detection applications on steel-reinforced concrete structures (e.g. locating reinforcing bars in the uppermost layers, measuring depth of concrete cover and estimating the diameter of the bars detected). The scanning mode used depends on the application. These fall broadly into the following categories:

Application

Scanning mode

Avoiding damage to reinforcing bars when drilling or core drilling Quickscan detection, Imagescan or

Blockscan

Determining the position / number and diameter of bars for load-

Imagescan

bearing capacity checks or depth of cover measurements Determining depth of concrete cover over large areas Quickscan recording

2.4 Using the system

The system functions by running the scanner directly over the surface of the structure. The data collected is stored in the scanner until it can be transferred to the monitor. The monitor is used for storing large amounts of data and for viewing the scans. It can also be used for on-the-spot evaluation of scans. The data can also be downloaded to a PC. The PC software offers advanced evaluation options, data archiving functions and the ability to quickly print out complete reports.

2.5 Quickscan detection

The scanner is moved across the surface at right angles to the reinforcing bars. The position and approximate depth of the reinforcing bars can be determined and marked right away on the surface of the concrete.

2.6 Quickscan detection with accurate depth measurement

Before scanning, the operator is required to enter values for the diameter of the reinforcing bars and the spacing between the bars. The scan is then carried out as described for Quickscan detection.

2.7 Quickscan recording

Data is recorded automatically as the scanner is moved over the surface of the concrete. This data is subsequently transferred to the monitor where it can be evaluated and the average depth of cover determined. If the data is downloaded to a PC, the information can be evaluated, archived and a report printed. Further evaluation options allow Quickscan recordings to be imported and evaluated automatically, statistical evaluations prepared and scans displayed in the form of large-area evaluations.

2.8 Imagescan

A reference grid is attached at the area of interest using the adhesive tape supplied. After selecting the Imagescan mode with the scanner, the rows and columns of the grid are scanned following the instructions on the screen. The data is transferred to the monitor where the image can be viewed and evaluated. The position of the reinforcing bars relative to the concrete surface is indicated. Bar diameter can be estimated and bar depth determined. If the data is downloaded to the PC application, this information can be evaluated as on the monitor, with the additional advantage of allowing a series of points to be recorded along with associated depth and diameter, and the data saved for future use. Reports can also be printed. Further evaluation options allow Imagescans to be imported and evaluated automatically, statistical evaluations prepared and scans displayed in the form of large-area evaluations.

2.9 Blockscan

A reference grid is attached at the area of interest using the adhesive tape supplied. After selecting Blockscan mode, the user is prompted to select the first area to scan. An Imagescan is then made. After completing the Imagescan, the user is prompted to select the next area to scan. This should be adjacent to the previous area. Attach the grid and then scan as before. This procedure can be repeated for up to 3 x 3 Imagescans. The data is transferred to the monitor. The Imagescans are automatically stitched together to form a larger image. The reinforcement layout can then be viewed over the whole area. Individual Imagescans can be selected for evaluation by “zooming in”. If the data is downloaded to the PC application, this information can be evaluated as on the monitor, with the additional advantage of allowing a series of points to be recorded along with associated depth and diameter, andthedatasavedforfutureuse.Reports can also be printed.

4.3 Detection range, measurement range and accuracy

NOTE

If one or more of the specified conditions are not fulfilled, accuracy and precision may be compromised. The ratio of bar spacing to depth of cover (s:c) is often a limiting factor in resolving individual bars.

This is defined as:

Depth of cover

Spacing

;

XSurface

In order to be able to resolve and locate individual bars, the ratio of bar spacing (s) to depth of cover (c) must be at least 2:1. Minimum bar spacing is 36 mm (1.4"). The higher of the two values applies when resolving individual bars. A depth of at least c≧10 mm (0.4") is required in order to carry out a depth measurement.

NOTE

Place a sheet of non-metallic material (e.g cardboard, wood, polystyrene foam,...) between the scanner and the surface to be scanned if the minimum depth cannot be adhered to.

The starting point and finishing point of the scan (e.g. from the edge of the reference grid) must be at least 30 mm (1.2") away from the nearest reinforcing bar.

In the annex of these operating instructions you will find bar diameter tables in accordance with:

DIN 488 ASTM CAN JIS GB 500110-2002 GOST 5781-82 BIS 1786:1985

5 Safety instructions

In addition to the information relevant to safety given in each of thesections ofthese operatinginstructions, the following points must be strictly observed at all times.

5.1 Intended use

a) The tool and its ancillary equipment may present

hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed.

b) To avoid the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti

accessories and additional equipment.

c) Modification of the tool or tampering with its parts

is not permissible.

d) Observe the information printed in the operat-

ing instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.

e) Do not render safety devices ineffective and do

not remove information and warning notices.

f) Check the condition of the tool before use. If the

tool is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti Service Center.

g) In particularly critical situations where measurements

have safety and structural stability implications, always check results by removing material from the surface of the structure and physically checking the position, depth and diameter of reinforcement at key positions.

h) When drilling at or near to a bar indicated by the sys-

tem, never drill deeper than the bar depth indicated.

5.2 Proper organization of the workplace

a) Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could

cause injury should be removed from the working area. Untidiness at the workplace can lead to

accidents.

b) Keep other persons, especially children, away

a) The tool may be operated, serviced and repaired

only by authorized, trained personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered.

b) Concentrate on your work. Stay alert. Pay atten-

tion to what you are doing. Approach the work with common sense. Do not use the tool if you are not concentrating.

6Beforeuse

6.1 Charging the battery pack

Use the PUA 80 charger to charge the PSA 80 battery pack. Full instructions are contained in the charger operating instructions. The battery pack must be charged for 14 hours before first use.

6.1.1 Inserting and removing the battery pack

CAUTION

The battery pack must slide easily into the scanner. Do not use force when inserting the battery pack into the scanner as this may damage the battery pack and/or the scanner.

5.6 Scanning requirements and limitations

a) Always check the accuracy of the tool before com-

mencing work on structures where measurements have safety and structural stability implications. Scan a reinforcing bar of known location, depth and diameter and check the results against the accuracy specifications.

b) Do not use the PS 200 S scanner if the wheels do

not turn freely or appear to be worn. Contact Hilti for repair information. The wheels may also be cleaned or replaced by the user.

c) Always check how the tool is configured before

using it.

d) Applyonly light pressure to the scanner when moving

it across the surface.

e) Reinforcement that lies beneath the uppermost layer

of reinforcement may not be detected.

f) Remove all metal items of jewelry such as rings, pen-

dants, bracelets, etc. before commencing scanning.
